Little Disciples

In August our church, First Baptist Van, opened a mother's day out program called Little Disciples. Little Disciples is a ministry that I worked on, prayed for and fought for very hard and I am now proud to say that I am the director of this wonderful program. It has been an adjustment for me and my family...from going to a stay at home mom of 3 to a preschool director of 30 children, including my 3!! This picture is of my boys on the first day of Little Disciples and for Barrett and Dylan their first day of preschool!!




This is the only year that all three boys will be at preschool together!! Next year Austin will go to Kindergarten!!!

Austins first Ranger Game

This summer we took Austin to his first Ranger game and he LOVED it! When I asked him if he wanted to go get ice cream and to the gift shop he looked at me and said, "won't we miss the game?" When I told him yes he said well just get me something from one of those people that is walking around because I am NOT going to miss the game. He really like baseball!!

Happy Birthday Barrett and Dylan

Today my little boys turned 2 years old and I can NOT believe it! These two years have been full of new adventures to say the least. However it has been truly amazing to watch Barrett and Dylan go from struggling to breath to vibrant healthy wild crazy little boys! God has blessed us in so many ways and even through the scary birth and 5 week NICU stay...God was always good! All three of my boys amaze me everyday and I love to watch them form the bond that brothers will share for a lifetime! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY Barrett and Dylan and thank you so much for blessing my life each new day! I love you, Mommy!


Brothers Forever!


The first time I got to hold them together!


The first time I held Barrett - 2 WEEKS old!

The first time I held Dylan - 2 days old

The first time Austin met Dylan


My tiny baby boys!


The first time I saw them - 2 hours after delivery!
